Does anybody think that going to see this movie would be sinful?

Would be sinful to enjoy the slander about Jesus. I don't think it would be sinful to see it in order to cast down the movie's arguments.

I suppose there could be as much sin in watching The Da Vinci Code as there is in watching Friends.

This would likely be my perspective on the movie. I don't know whether the movie has second or seventh commandment violations that might lead someone to sin.

Has it been rated yet? Has Brian Godawa commented on the film?

What worries me about the movie is that some people believe really far-fetched stuff. I know otherwise reasonable people who have said that National Treasure could happen. That movie is ridiculous and outside the realm of possibility. People who think NationalTreasure is plausible could watch Da Vinci come away thinking "what if . . ." Of course gross historical ignorance on the part of Americans makes is easy for people like Brown to manipulate them.

It's almost guaranteed to have 2nd commandment issues involved as the use of Da Vinci's "The Last Supper" is essential to the story line.

Andrew: It will show some Da Vinci paintings with Jesus in them (such as The Last Supper). Of course the story is blasphemous, stating that Jesus is not divine, was married to Mary Magdalene, etc.

 

[VirginiaHuguenot]

Ok, that info helps. I know enough about the story to know that it blasphemes the Lord. Maybe I'll read the book one day if I run out of Puritan works to read...naahhhh!

 

[satz]

regardless of if it would be an actual sin or not, it would most certainly be a sin against good taste.

 

[Scott]

It is not a movie to see for entertainment.

I didn't want to be the one to have to say it ...

.... nuclear (when pronounced "nuke-lar") and supposibly - my two other favourites ....

Anyway, some of my Christian friends have encouraged me to watch it--so that I be better able to respond to its fallacies. I see and appreciate their motive, but not in their recommendation.

I like how bankers and gemologists do it ... "know the Real thing best, and the counterfeits will show up easy ..."

Interestingly, I just received (as I'm sure some of you have) an e-mail from Brian Godawa's mailing list, encouraging people to go to the movies the weekend of May 19-21 (when Da Vinci Code opens), but to go to _Over the Hedge_ (a DreamWorks animated feature) instead. He's not suggesting ignoring the box office, protesting, or debating... he advocates voting with one's feet and one's $$$.

Cool idea, that one. I'm sure everyone is expecting DVC to be "the number 1 movie" that weekend... be a great story if it wasn't.

I'm familiar with DVC but read about the first 10 pages of the book two years ago and was bored. I didn't see what all the fuss was - isn't it fiction? ;-)

It's good for CHristians to stay on top of culture to know what we are battling and what many people will take as a good possibility. Satan is de-deifying Christ so a handful of debuking of myths would be helpful if done in the right spirit.

 

[ReformedWretch]

One things for sure, those who have boks out "answering" the DC will be making a fortune as well!

Saw a program about the Code on the History Channel. It debunked it to the max. The geneology it is based upon is a total hoax. There is also no DNA evidence to link the supposed offspring. The program baits you along and then cuts the strings. It was pretty good.
